Jimmy and the Wild Honey Hunters - SUNDAY BBC ONE

Watch Jimmy this Sunday on BBC ONE (10 August, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm).

Jimmy is a keen amateur naturalist with a passion for bees and honey. He keeps bees and has always been blown away by the sheer variety of honey flavours, appreciating a good honey like others enjoy a fine wine. So when he heard about an ancient group of people in Nepal who are willing to risk their lives to taste their local honey, he knew he wanted to share the experience.

As a 'honey hunter' Jimmy must scale a massive cliff home to more than two million giant bees. Dangling 200ft up he must take away the bee's honey- the risks are extreme. If successful, the reward is not only learning more about these amazing bees but also to taste one of nature's finest bounties, beautiful wild honey.
